SEAL-LOCK.

SBEGIFIQATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,450, dated May '29, 1883. i Application filed January 20,1883. (Modem To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL E. NUTTING, of IronRidge, in the county of Dodge and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new'and Improved Seal-Lock for Gar-Doors, of which the following is a full,1clear, and exact description.

The object of the-invention is to combine certain parts in a seal-lock, sis-hereinafter described, and pointedout in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which, sitnilar'letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is aperspective view of a section out of the side of the car with my improved seal-lock applied.- Fig. 2 is a section of Fig.

1 on the line magand Fig.3 is a section of the seal and of the dies of the pliers used for sealing the lock. 7

I fit a metal cylinder, at, in the post b of the door-frame or other part of the side of the car to whichthe door 0 is to be locked, making it fast in any approved way, said cylinder having an oval head, cl, for receiving the end of the hasp e, which is suitably slotted to fit said head, the cylinder being also bored through its center lengthwise for receiving the locking-boltf, which has a head, g, corresponding inform to head d, projecting beyond it, for the hasp e to pass over it onto head d. The bolt extends through cylinder a, andis secured by pins h, which allow it to turn in said cylinriveted, after passing through the strip, by

pliers m, havingdies W, to be prepared with the name or any characters to indicate the.station where they are to be used, so that in case the seals are broken open the locality where it is done will be indicated.

The lock is simple to make and apply to the car, and it will be found well calculated for durability. r

I am aware that it is not new to make a tag or seal of brass, tin, or other soft metal but What I do claim as new and of my invention is- V The combination, in a seallock, of hollow and headed cylinder at, headed bolt f, slotted hasp e, and the seal lo, the hasp, bolt, and cylinder-head having a slot or hole for the seal strip or wire, substantially as described.
